• Resumen

  • In March 2022 the species Codium bursa (Linnaeus) C. Agardh was observed at the low eulitoral of Playa del Sobrado in the northwest coast of islote de Lobos (Fuerteventura), during the sampling of the intertidal benthic community of the REMA-CAN project from ULL and Gobierno de Canarias. The total abundance of the species along the transect (10 x 2 m) was of 20 individuals, mainly growing epilithic in crevices or vertical walls near the water. This coenocytic green algae is widely distributed along the Mediterranean coasts and extents in the eastern Atlantic: England, France, Portugal, Spain and the Canary (Chacana 2002; Guiry and Guiry 2023).
